Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken

Astro-logical

Donuts and Chicken via Elevator

It’s that classic story you’ve heard a thousand times: boy grows up playing hockey
in suburban Maryland. Boy ends up on his hometown pro team, becomes fan favorite. And then that boy, now a
man, decides to bestow fried chicken and donuts on those faithful fans.

Okay, so maybe it’s a unique story.

But it brings us to former Caps center Jeff Halpern, one of the partners behind Astro Doughnuts & Fried
Chicken, opening next week at Metro Center to provide your fix of sweet and savory fried stuff.

But if you’d rather not box yourself into rigid categories like “chicken” and “donuts,” there’s
always this: a fried chicken breast with Benton’s bacon and sriracha mayo between two slices of savory
chive-and-cheddar donut.
